Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 5y = 21 * (-4) •••••• -12x -20y = -84 (a)
4x - 2y = -24 * (3) •••••• 12x -6y = -72 (b)
(a) + (b)
-26y = -156
y = 6
3x + 5 * 6 = 21
3x = 21 - 30
3x = -9
x = -3
To find out how old the twins were that were in the recital you need to be able to interpret a stem and leaf plot. The number of the left gets placed with each number on the right to create a number in the data set. See the key for an example. This means there were 2 people that were 5 years old making them the twins!
Let T = cost of a taco
Let S = cost of a salad
(2 tacos + 1 salad) + (8 % of 2 tacos and 1 salad) + 3 = 13.80
2T + S + .08(2T + S) + 3 = 13.80
2T + 2.5 + .08(2T + 2.5) + 3 = 13.80
2T + 2.5 + .16T + .20 + 3 = 13.80
2.16T + 5.7 = 13.80
2.16T = 8.10
T = 8.10/2.16 = $3.75
Check: 2T + S + .08(2T + S) + 3 = 13.80
2(3.75) + 2.50 + .08(2(3.75)+2.5) + 3 = 13.80
7.5 + 2.5 + .08(10) + 3 = 13.8
13.80 = 13.80

Answer:
<u>-10x+25</u>
<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
−5(2x−5)
=(−5)(2x+−5)
=(−5)(2x)+(−5)(−5)
<u>=−10x+25</u>
